As the Philippines transitioned into a more-relaxed general community quarantine, the use of mass transportation became operational but was still at limited capacity to properly execute physical and social distancing.
With this, different cities in Metro Manila have designated special bike lanes since people are turning to bikes as their primary means of transportation.
Although some malls are already open, there are online stores that you can check out for your biking needs. Here they are:
Bike Tech Manila is a five-year-old, pure e-commerce website that offers bicycle components, accessories, wheels, tools, and other bicycle-related items.
The store also offers some major brands like Shimano, Mavic, Cannondale, Fabric, among others.
Unison Bikes offer a wide array of bicycle brands from Italian manufacturer Willier Triestina to Japan-made CEEPO bikes that are perfect for mountain biking.
